TORONTO—A request for proposals (RFP) has been issued by Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and Weeneebayko Area Health Authority (WAHA) for a team to deliver the WAHA redevelopment project, which involves the construction of a new hospital, Elder Care Lodge, visitor hostel and staff accommodations in Moosonee as well as a new Ambulatory Care Centre on Moose Factory Island.
IO and WAHA are working with the Ontario Ministry of Health and Indigenous Services Canada to deliver the project which will provide “culturally appropriate health care” to patients and clients living along Ontario’s James Bay and Hudson Bay coasts.
At the conclusion of the RFP process, the successful bidder will work in collaboration with IO and WAHA, under a Development Phase Agreement, to further define and refine project requirements, design, pricing and risk parameters, indicates a release.
The RFP is the first step in IO’s new progressive procurement approach, which will enable the participation of a long-term, sustainable market of qualified firms, competing to deliver projects through more collaborative means.
The RFP process includes submissions by qualified teams of design development, construction management and project controls plans for the development phase, financing plan and the price of the developer’s design and preconstruction services during the development phase.
Following the RFP process, which is expected to close in summer 2022, IO and WAHA will evaluate the submissions and select a partner to enter into a Development Phase Agreement. Upon completion of the development phase, it is anticipated the development partner would enter into a fixed-price, public-private partnership agreement to design, build, and finance the project.
